Tire Maintenance for Beginners

posted on 2/13/2018 11:59:55 AM
How much do you remember about tire maintenance from your driver’s education class? I bet you don’t remember much. Most courses cover the rules of the road, not how to maintain a vehicle. As a new driver, there are many things to learn. Taking care of your car is one of those things. Let’s start with the one part of your vehicle that touches the road, your tires.   That’s right, your tires are the only part of your vehicle that actually touch the road. That makes them an important safety fe...

When Do You Need to Replace Your Brakes?

posted on 12/8/2017 10:20:16 AM
Gas mileage varies because of many things: driving style, tire, vehicle type, etc. Brake pads are similar to tires in that the life of a brake pad can vary.

When Should You Replace the PCV Valve?

posted on 12/8/2017 10:05:47 AM
As cars aim to be more green, a prime example is the crankcase ventilation system, which was designed to reduce emissions released into the atmosphere, by rerouting them back into the engine, where they're burned in the combustion chambers. Although the PCV system is seldom listed as a maintenance item, it can cause performance and emissions problems. More so, the valve that regulates the flow of these gases (some newer vehicles don't have a valve). When the valve does not open and close on sc...

How Often Should I Change Engine Coolant?

posted on 12/8/2017 9:08:13 AM
A typical mechanic will recommend changing coolant every 30,000 miles. But many will tell you, changing the coolant is not even on their radar. An owner’s manual might recommend changing the coolant/antifreeze after the first 60,000 miles, then every 30,000 miles. But the coolant change recommendation is wildly different from car to car, as some models of cars do not recommend it be changed for as far as 120,000+ miles. Many service shops, though — including some at dealerships that sell car...

A Brief Explanation of Tire Information

posted on 12/6/2017 1:31:16 PM
Ever wonder what the designations stamped on your tire sidewall actually mean? We’d like to break it down for you. Let’s take for instance, “P195/60R15 87S”. This is a full service description of a tire. In this case, “87S” denotes a tire’s load capacity and speed rating. The higher the number, the greater the load capacity – an 87 load capacity means that tire can support 1,201 pounds. Speed ratings range from L (75 mph) through V (149 mph), and an S speed rating means the tire is good...
